Check Bugsnag when a bug report arrives by DM
Keep bug reports sent privately from becoming another item to remember by prompting a Bugsnag error check.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
List Errors on Project
Tool to list all errors in a project. use when you need to retrieve errors with optional filtering by version and sorting.
Why this helps
A bug report in a DM can be separated from the team's usual triage flow and easy to forget.
- Bring Bugsnag context to bug reports shared privately.
- Reduce the odds of a DM report becoming a dropped follow-up.
- Keep the report and its error lookup connected.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bugsnag to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe one plain-language instruction for finding relevant Bugsnag errors when a bug report arrives by Slack DM.
- 4Select the Slack direct message received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real bug report DM and check that the summary is useful.
Questions about this workflow

Will it post the report into a public channel?
